I am looking at how I might go about importing a mixture of existing VMs into oVirt. There doesn't appear to be any obvious way of doing this so I am assuming it should be done manually. If I where to create a raw disk image of my existing KVM virtual machines how would I then go about importing this? I can see on a node running a VM that there are two files in the images folder associated with it. These appear to be the disk image and a meta file containing configuration options for the VM. Would the best way to go about this be to create a VM with the options I require in oVirt and power cycle it so these files are created then replace the disk image with my one, preserving the file name (which I assume is the VMID).
take a look at new and shiney utility called ovirt-image-uploader. cc-ing its author Keith
